I would like to remind everyone that the ladies working at ulta and saphora don't know wtf they are talking about
>in ulta
>ask girl where they keep their CeraVe products
>she scrunches up her face
>"you know, we have some much better skin products for the same price"
>sure
>she shows me some jar bottled skincare that's more perfume than product
>read ingredients, has alchohol and a bunch of other shit I know is bad
I should have known, considering she had a bunch of acne under her makeup
Another story
>go to saphora
>ask girl for a gel eyeliner that will stay in place really well and not smudge
>she shows me some popular, expensive brand and I buy it
>it smudges worse than anything I've ever bought
>my fucking colorpop eyeliner is better
They suck

They know what they're talking about. They just want you to spend more money than necessary and get rid of products no one wants.

Heard the aritzia ones are mean on purpose
In the end they're just doing their work, selling you store stuff. They're not advisors.

I have a story about this as well.
>in sephora
>first time going to that location
>ask girl at the counter to show me where the mascaras are
>she points to a corner with a stand and a bunch of boxes and shit
>"that's the lash section"
>walk over to find its a flash eyelash display

Honestly I think the girls at Ulta are just trolling us pretending to know a thing about makeup

western skincare in general is pretty fucked.
maybe it changed recently but i remember there was always this huge emphasis on 'removing oils' from your face with aggressive products and scrubbing, when thats actually the worst thing you can do for acne and dryness (and dryness and lack of oils causes acne).
look to the east, you can do really well with basic level toners and stuff from japan or korea.

>>20864Asian products are soo much better. I stopped using some western products. I can't always afford it but those months I don't run out of my fullkit its great. I started using less make up over all too and tried to learn some different techiques. They actually care about keeping you youthful in Korea. You get what you pay for.

>>20313They are there to sell you expensive stuff. Look at reviews online instead.
>>20864I love asian skincare products and make up. They all feel so light-weight and still do a great job at keeping my dry skin moisturized. I think the only western products that I still bother to buy for my skin are Cera Ve and some cheap stuff from the drugstore.
